last Friday, I decided to check out an out-of-state singer/songwriter who was performing in Easton on the Eastern Shore (Talbot County).
Twasn't the best weather to travel, as there were some heavy rain that evening (especially on the return). It was late in the evening (about 10pm) when I arrived at the tiny cafe (Chez Lafitte) on Washington St. It seemed to be in a part of town with old, quaint buildings or storefronts. As the night was dark and sometimes rainy, it wasn't a good time to sightsee.
My first time in Easton... and the first time I'd traveled over the Bay Bridge to reach the Eastern Shore. (Having an M-tag / EZ Pass, helped speed passing through the toll booth. Although, once through the booth, traffic was stopped as the various lanes merged to 2.)
It's really not that far.
I must say that this year has seen several other firsts when it comes to intrastate travel. Early in the year, I drove up to Westminster (Caroll County). And of course, about 2 months ago, I visited southern Maryland (places like St. Inigoes and California). Also took the commuter rail, MARC (Camden line) and the Baltimore light rail (from the Cromwell / Glen Burnie station) during weekdays.
Not sure what's next... maybe riding the Baltimore Metro subway or visiting Frederick or ?
